137-141 Magdalen Street (part Grade II)

A mixed group, varying from a 17th Century house with a jettied rear through to Victorian with modern additions. Bought by the City Council and transferred to the Trust, the scheme, which required some exchange of property ownerships, produced five residential units which were sold to a Housing Association on 125-year lease and two commercial units leased for 125 years to a local business.

The residential units face onto a yard christened Hartley’s Court, after Eric Hartley, a long-serving chairman of the Trust.
